I think the biggest misconception is the fact that Narcissist believe their own confabulations. Its hardly ever mentioned at all but only empathized on grandiosity etc. But hardly ever their delusional, paranoid and confabuled state of mind. I only realized my ex was invested into her own delusions and got upset when they made no sense to the outside world. At which she would adjust another “delusion” and believe that fantasy hard enough until it becomes real. Surround herself with enablers who support those newly invented stories so it must be real. This was her narcissism when there were just days,months and sometimes even hours of alternating realities for her. Which I could no longer go along with cause it made me insane. And then the discard happened. It must be crazy making for them aswell.
Considering about 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits. What is the common denominator in your past? Why you in particular? Introspect.
I have often experienced selective disassociation... I've observed events being recalled in clear detail if they needed to be used to devalue and berate... But hey.., different techniques for different times...
Sam, per this (7:00) and earlier video on difference between NPD and psychopathy... How / why is the NPD's GOAL of wanting / needing supply any different from a psychopath's "goal-orientation"?
Hello Hello dear fellow mortal humanimals! Thank you Prof. Sam Vaknin, for another enlightening dive into the depths of our psyches! Since you obviously are an extremely busy bee, I don't expect you to even encounter this request but In case you may stumble across it, I'd be grateful to hear (read) about your view on this hypothetical question: What if not a single person on this planet knew how to lie, therefore everyone automatically told the truth (subjective truth not included). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it. Take care and live well!😊❤
Geschlimpf(t) sounds a lot like 'schlumpfig' which as an adjective we will use in our German family to call someone who is sloppy, slow and ineffective..referring to a translation of 'smurf' (=Schlumpf), maybe because smurfs are childlike and often presented as fixated on pursuing their joy and not work, but I really don't know why we are using it..we are not the only ones to use the term that way..chance is, the expression will likely be understood by most Germans :D
"I always tell the truth, even when I'm lying" the disgraced sexual predator UK TV "superstar" Jimmy Saville once said on a TV show. The Liars Paradox straight off the lips the most deceitful person in modern times.
Was also wondering (and secretly hoping there might be some possibility of a reconciliation with his wife, editor and business partner - at least for the sake of the children), but am happy our smart, dedicated, generous, credible, reliable, articulate, witty, winking and increasingly cheerfully gigging and thus personable (and adorable) Prof. Vaknin is recording from his (former) home because the acoustics are better there than in the stark, empty white room in Israel which apparently cuts in at min. 8:08, but Prof. Vaknin is wearing the same shirt here, so maybe he simply changed rooms and not countries. Wishing his family and him a healthy, happy holiday in the shared fantasy (which could become a shared reality): stable, loving, fun, safe, nourishing family able to forgive, repair and celebrate itself.
Hello, professor Vaknin ! Can we live without any lie at all ? Is it possible ? I'm very interested in your answer, thank you , I'm following you for about 2 and a half/3 years , and you have changed my life in a better one ! I'm so grateful to you, I'm a doc, a good one in my work, but I didn't know a lot a lot a lot of things... You brought a very powerful light in my so "black" darkness, all these years and with this profession , without beeing aware of so much things... , unbelievable but true ! Thank you from heart for the lessons , professor ! Again, truly grateful ! Can we live without any lie at all ?
Overheard this morning, "Shoutout to Judas for the long Easter weekend!" 🤣 😂 Perfectly in keeping with today's episode 👏 No religious disrespect intended 🙏
I hope my husband is dying the death of 1000 daggers, everyday all day Yes I think he was in a trance for a while, until his secret got out(with his wh0re in lake havasu, aka Amanda), he snapped out of it just in time to come back to me so I could take care of him during his last 4 months. I did get some closure, I’m grateful he’s gone or sadly my torture would continue
Happy Easter, to all the honest people....and liars too, 😉 lol 😂
It’s so important you break down these types of lies AND the future faking and gaslighting that psychopaths engage in. Thank you for this video Sam!

Say "you are right" but know you are right, this is projection 😀
Thank you for clarification of the differences between this disorders🙏🙏
You look fantastic, Dr. Sam! Happy Easter! 🎉🐣🎉
Professor Vaknin, thank you
Yes i’ve attracted many psychopaths. Thanks Mr. Vaknin for your wisdom
Considering about 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits.
What is the common denominator in your past?
Why you in particular?
Introspect.
Happy Sunday 🐣 🗿 🐰 ❤
Your a likable guy. Happy Easter
Happy Easter Sam! Thanks so much for videos.
What about lying by omission?
Wow. I will not look at people the same as before... nor myself!
I knew I was dealing with psychopaths
Lets see how it turns oit
I have often experienced selective disassociation...
I've observed events being recalled in clear detail if they needed to be used to devalue and berate... But hey.., different techniques for different times...
Dissociation.
Happy Easter Sam.
The Narcissist/Psychopath has had many years to perfect the lies impeccably. How will one know which category of lie he is using?
There is a difference between the 2! Big difference !
Sam, per this (7:00) and earlier video on difference between NPD and psychopathy...
How / why is the NPD's GOAL of wanting / needing supply any different from a psychopath's "goal-orientation"?
The psychopath's goals are myriad and shifting.
Thank you

I like it

@Lulu Adapa Google. What an interesting translation tool. Add one letter and you get a whole different story , I translate German time to time. 🤣

Love your work .
This reminds me of the poem about the snake smh
"I always tell the truth, even when I'm lying"
the disgraced sexual predator UK TV "superstar" Jimmy Saville once said on a TV show.

Sir have you shifted to your earlier abode as the back ground setting is the same as earlier videos?

How about the liar liar pants on fire liar? Happy Easter and happy passover and all the other holy days people celebrate during this time
confabulation is INTERPOLATING points a and b
True. But point B is not always known. It is by extrapolating that the narcissist identifies point B.
By extrapolating ¿the narcisist identifies?
I think geschlimft has a Russian analogue позаприсообщлимный

@@NothingButGoodStuff I respectfully agree 😉
